Every year around this time my fight with Winter Depression starts. Not enough light - and therefore not enough happiness. Since this is the 21st century this condition has a nice and serious sounding medical name attached to it - Seasonal Affective Disorder - which can be shortened into ‘SAD’. No shit Sherlock!
But this year I’ll fight back! Thanks to the intranets I bought one of many light therapy devices. If it doesn’t make me happy - at least my electricity provider will be (although most of these devices use no more power then a normal light bulb).
